Annozilla 0.3.5 is released, mainly for compatibility with Mozilla 1.2 beta,
- but I encourage all users of 0.3 releases to upgrade, as it fixes a bug
- whereby some annotations would sometimes not be displayed.

-

This release is not compatible with Phoenix; this is expected to be
- (partially) addressed in the forthcoming 0.4 release.

Countdown to 0.4

Here's a list of what needs to be done before releasing Annozilla 0.4:

This release is recommended for all users and fixes a number of issues:

-

Use XPointerLib for XPointer functionality
-

Remove "check for reply" functionality from user interface (this is being postponed till a later release)
-

Ensure compatibility with Mozilla 1.0
-

Ensure compatibility with Mozilla 1.2.1
-

Ensure compatibility with Phoenix 0.5 if possible
-

Improve behaviour with respect to tabbed browsing if possible
-

Make sure that editing annotations doesn't discard metadata associated with them

Adds an editor in Firefox for the first time. The Firefox editor is not as
+ polished as the Mozilla version, but has more or less the same features.
+ (Install the Spellbound extension too to get spell-checking on annotations.)
+

Fixes the "annotate current selection" context-menu command for Mozilla 1.7.7.
+ Also adds this command to Firefox, where it was inexplicably missing
+

Fixes preference handling in Firefox. (Some preferences could never be set
+ in Firefox; some screens worked only intermittently.)

Updating of annotation bodies is still not working.
